Manchester United Rumours Archive June 29 2011

came across this site to see rumours, etc, got to let you that we have indeed carried out medical procedures on Young, Thomas and De Gea (nice guy) To advise we have no further medicals booked from United (need 2 weeks notice) and there are no bookings pending. So looks like no more signings this summer - sorry. {Ed012's Note - You don't need two weeks notice if you are prepared to pay enough, it's how the world works regrettably! However, if you are correct, are you suggesting clubs book medicals on transfer deadline day just in case they need one?}

Ed's right, medicals can and are arranged at short notice. Doctors, clinics and Labs work 24hrs and with fast turn around times for a fee. The clubs don't use the NHS.... {Ed007's Note - I do not even want to know how anyone knows that!! Just don't tell Moneypenny about it}

bad news thiago alcantara signed new 2 year contract with barca wouldv been gr8 signing

29 Jun 2011 20:26:29
Sky Sports journalist just said Barcelona have made a final offer of ?Ç£27m plus ?Ç£13m in add ons for Axis Sanchez. So I'm guessing that's that for us regarding him. Keep seeing us linked with Hazard, can anyone tell me if he is any good? If we do get him I still believe we need one more for experience after losing the oldest this season.

Sambo

He's very good, Not much difference between him and sanchez tbh

by this time next week, nasri and diara would be man united players and starting to sale some players to buy a striker to cover berbatov position and some suprise young sign from sir alex as usually
player who are looking to be sale
*brown
*oshea
*gibson
*evans
*obertan
*macheda
*diouf
*berbatov
*kuszczak
*hargreaves
TOTAL CAN MAKE ALMOST ?Ç£45M.

and some who are going out on loan.
*ryan tunnicliffe
*oliver gill
*tom cleverley
*robert brady
*joshua king
*danny welbeck 50/50

player who are going to get chance in first team this year

*paul pogba
*ravel morrison

Cleverley & Welbeck are miles ahead of Pogba & Morrison in progression.

Sydney!

SAF wouldnt sell macheda or evans, they would probably go out on loan, plus hargreaves is already a free agent. nasri will not come to us.

29 Jun 2011 20:14:35
I have posted about hazard on here two weeks ago and I still belive that's who we will sign We will not sign nasri as arsenal won't allow him to leave to another premirship side Sanchez will be with barca so Mata will be with arsenal
Along as we sign hazard that will do for me Great potential to be world class star

Jesus Christ How many wingers do we need? Hazard has never played nor will he ever be able to play in a central position or in midfield. What would be the point of signing him ahead of Nasri, or at all?

29 Jun 2011 19:57:27
i along with the majority of united fans feel that we need to be looking at 2 cm's. one attacking (mata) and one natural deep laying playmaker such as modric/martinez. i feel now de gea has been wrapped up it gtives united more of a chance when attracting young spanish players such as martinez and mata, however we know ferguson likes to buy british talent or players atleast proven in the premiership. I think nasri sneijder and modric will not happen. and it is more likely to be hazard martinez or a kaka loan.

You said fergie likes british or proven players then say we could sign 3 players from abroad?

So, my uncle, a policeman in London, is friends with a security guard at Wimbledon who claims that during the winter he works at Spurs and is therefore "in the know."

Anyway, we have now signed three of the four signings needed this year. We have great cover for either wing, a new capable defender to replace Brown who will be leaving and finally a world class gk.

Now all we need is a great CM. I personally don't want a typical CAM who would play too close to Rooney. eg, Sneijder (although I wouldn't unhappy if we got him). I want a player who can sit deeper and pick out the ball that will put a player into space behind the defense. Ideally this would be Schweinsteiger but this wont happen and so I think Vidal would be great to play alongside Anderson in CM. He is young and relatively cheap and we could turn him into an excellent player.

So what's the relevance of your uncle and the security guard at Wimbledon?

Mate, I think it was taking the p**s out of people who put that to make it sound better.

Finally a worldclass keeper ???? van der sar not then ??

It was finally as the last one of the three there. Not saying it as though we have been waiting long time for one.

Why Anderson? Is Everyone Forgettin About Fletcher?
Hes So Underated But A Class Player, Id Have Him In The CM With Someone Who Is Proven Attacking Wise.
Modric Doesnt Score Enough Goals, Nasri Would Be Good But Highly Unlikely.
Fergie Will Pull Someting Out The Bag And If It Is Sneijder Then That Deal Was Sorted A Few Months Ago

29 Jun 2011 19:37:16
Any news on Steven Defour? A lot of speculation during the season and last summer but seems to have died down. This is a player that I would see SAF going for more so than the players who are going to cost ?Ç£30m plus. He likes to rotate his midfield and buying someone for an extraordinary amount often dictates that he must start. A talented young midfielder like Defour, mature and experienced for his age; captaining his club to multiply trophies seems like more of a SAF signing. Thoughts?

I agree, Defour would certainly fit the criteria, also consider with the predicted departure of Gibson (treated poorly by many so called U fans) frees up more space for a spot for the young French Kid Pogba. United we stand, divided we fall.

I think he's the one. Under the radar and good price and we all know the gaffer likes him. He would finish our signings off for me.

29 Jun 2011 18:55:11
I think it's clear to see that we need a CM to replace Scholes and I'm sure Fergie knows he he wants and has an idea who he can get. However I feel we maybe a bit light in the full back dept if Brown and O'Shea depart. Ed do you know if there are any targets for these areas in the pipeline other than Iziguirre?

{Ed019's Note - I haven't noticed any other possible targets other than Izaguirre but I think Fergie will be relatively happy with what he has already, Brown didn't really play any part last season so that won't be too important I don't think. I for one would like to see O'Shea stay on as while he's never been an outstanding player he has been an outstanding servant to the club and provides defensive cover in every position. Especially considering the 25-man squad a player like that is very valuable.}

29 Jun 2011 17:48:07
Hi ed 007 with psg bidding for hazard do you think united will get involved? thanks, tom17 {Ed007's Note - There is a good chance of it from what I have been told and relayed on here}

Everyone should just relax about the transfers that are being rumoured. Yesterday the MIRROR stated that united were on the verge of 20 million signing of nasri- today on the same paper it states that nasri is about to move to Barcelona. Such BS. United will get either nasri, , , , modric, , , , Martinez, , , , or thiago and that should be it
Pastore(labelled 40-50 million), Sanchez(labelled 44million) dese r MAYBe worth 20 million bt I tink this Market is crazy day dese unproved players r worth more than proper quality players like nasri, nani, and chicarito,

Fergie Knows Best
Wait and see

Aaaghhh... what does "dese" mean? Last time I checked this was a ".co.uk" domain?

The Mirror ahvent linked Nasri with Barca. You need to read the story It actually calims Arsenal are in danger of losing Fabregas and Nasri this week - one to Barca , one to United

29 Jun 2011 16:51:03
I am hearing the two medicals booked in for next week are Modric and Defour.

Nice thought but i'm afraid you're dreaming my friend..

Don't believe this one bit. Spurs have made it clear that Modric is going nowhere and all of a sudden he's turning up at OT for a medical without the press getting wind?? Don't think so

29 Jun 2011 16:36:19
Bojan djordic just signed for blackpool, Do we get anything as a selling on fee since he used to play 4 us? We should at least get about 20 quid

This is by far the best piece of transfer news i have heard all year

I think we are getting a kit kat and a can of vimto

I heard its a merlin premier league shiny sticker of titus bramble from the 2006 season

It is actually an interesting message.

Djordic was seen as one of Europe's leading young players and starred in a tournament possibly even something like the U17 World cup. Commentators and those in the "know" said he had great potential and could be a world beater.
It shows how young players dont necessarily develop into the finished superstar.
I would not take the mickey he tried and just was not good enough.

guy on twitter says the following don't know if it's bull most probs but hope it happens @TransferUpdate: Luka Modric subjected to Medical tomorrow noon. Expected to sign tomorrow night. Manchester United to unveil him by 3rd July. #MUFC

{Ed019's Note - Transfer update is a WUM account so it's very unlikely to be true. It's such a big story I'd imagine the major news outlets would all be in on it if anything significant was happening.}

Just stop with the twitter sources and look up real articles. twitter plz just stop it.

{Ed019's Note - Twitter can be a good source as well, you just have to be careful who you believe. It's the same as the internet really, the sun and mirror are no better than some of the "ITK's" on Twitter really, you just have to filter out the bad stuff.}

I must not be itk as I have no idea what WUM lol care to give a clue?

Pardoe

{Ed019's Note - Wind up Merchant, someone just trying to wind up others.}

Doh Now not only am I not in the know it's stupid too hahaha

Pardoe {Ed007's Note - Neither did I Pardoe, and I use Twitter!!!}

STEPH DOELHER's TWITTER ACCOUNT SAYS:

"Someone who works at Bridge Water Medical Clinic (where #mufc do their medicals) says utd have 2 booked in for next wk. No news as to who tho."


I dont know who Steph Doelher is but just thought i should share this with you if at all it turns out to be true.


MUMBAI_BOY {Ed007's Note -

She is:

"Editor & founder of Football United Blogs. Editor of Battle of Manchester fanzine & online mag Football United. Also writes for Red News fanzine. United fan"

Steph has plenty of contacts in the United world and I for one certainly view this as a clear possibility. I don't feel that Jones, Young and De Gea were the 3 players Fergie was talking about last month. Not sure who it is though Hopefully Nasri and maybe Mata

29 Jun 2011 14:02:18
Keep throwing the usual names about (Nasri, Modric, Sneijder and Sanchez) as much as you all want, and tie a semi-believable story to it to make people believe your rumour. However, I guaranteee you all that neither will be signed Fergie will bring a CM in for under 20m, and will be a name that hasn't, or rarely has, been mentioned.

In Fergie we trust

The Red Devil

I dunno..but i sense that all the nasri..sneijder and modric stuffs is jst diversion for someone better fitting the squad

Got to agree with you here matey. I think fergie will sign someone that no one has mentioned yet too

The original post is true. Utd are actually after Sochaux's Marvin Martin, but face competition form Wolves who are now front-runners in the race to sign him after Steven Mouyonkolo joined Sochaux on a season long loan with an option to buy at the end of the season

I still believe Fergie would love to have Modric. He geuinely would provide a missing link in the United Midfield. Unfortunately, that transfer looks less and less likely by the day. As for the others, I struggle to see any great logic in signing them. as iv'e stated here before and others have also agreed, Scholes long-term succesor will be Wayne Rooney.

Not sure whether i totally share your trust, who is writing the cheques?

Thiago signed a new contract with barca... 90m buyout clause

29 Jun 2011 13:06:28
The berbatov part exchange for mata deal is gathering momentum online... Any truth in it ed?

He would be a sensational buy (especially because arsenal want him ;)

My 2 fav signings would be Mata and Sanchez, who i don't think we should rule out as barca chase Fabregas....

Mata solves CAM issue, Sanchez gives us a faster and trickier false 9 option than Rooney (who could go to "left forward" who cuts inside)

How will buy an 30 year old striker as an exchange of a hot prospect ? think before you post

Cause you offer a 30 yr old player plus cash and you get the hop prospect...thats how you do it.

It has been done before ya know dopey

Red Knight.

He is coming to liverpool where his first choice

Oh of course he is did you not just say he is a hot prospect ??
Why the hell would he go to ye then what can ye offer him ??
Free tue wed and thursday nights the guy has ambition United and chelsea supposedly want him that means ye have zero chance my friend.
Stick with henderson adam downing and milner and leave the best young talents to us.

Red Knight.

29 Jun 2011 12:41:13
NANI TO BARCA BUSQUETS OR ALVES COMING OTHER WAY

Definetly things are getting mad. Do you really think about what you just said? Dani or Sergio?

I will chop my arm off id we get sergio, hate the player soo much , too much play acting

29 Jun 2011 12:27:05
Although fergie said he was focusing on 3 main signings and we already have 3, i have a funny feeling he is trying to get a hidden gem under the noses of barca, city, chelsea etc.

Ye, im pretty sure Jones doesnt count because we planned on buying him next year but Liverpool forced Fergies hand

Jones isnt 1 of the three. SAF's hand was forced by interest from other parties. My favs would be mata and sanchez.

I really think its true sir Alex targets is immediate followed by man city he trying calling out top players who is linked with other clubs

you look into fact all his target will have a second choice for same position he try bidding all top clubs follow i think his real target has not been bid yet

Id certainly hope at the very least there is a central midfielder signed. Sure Young AND Jones can play central midfield, but I dont think either were bought for that reason and we are woefully short there I feel. Personally I think Pogba and Morrison are still a year away from lighting up Old Trafford

29 Jun 2011 12:23:08
Dea Gea, Jones and Young In

Hopefully Nasri to follow
Nani and Berbatov out = Me one happy fan

Nani is likely to stay at least one more season to see how he will fit and if it doesn't work will sell. As for Berbatov, SAF is busy signing new players so I'm sure the drama will happen a few more weeks.

All these new players we are looking at look at them on you tube none much better than nani... On his off days he's average but on his good days class... Would u sell Rooney for having a few off days... Nani kept us up in the table last year first half of the year

When it mattered skweaky bm time where was nani? When you ansa that you know all nani is good for
Time to say bye to nani

Cavani and Sanchez to replace Berbatov and Nani would be heaven, with Nasri coming into the centre.

29 Jun 2011 12:05:00
If you read the Sanchez City report on SSN, Mancini says that Sanchez was willing to go to City. That being said he is obvioulsy open to other clubs, so if we did bid for him he might be willing to come to OT Just a thought

The ship already sailed and that ship is way too much money at the moment.

29 Jun 2011 11:56:00
frederico macheda heading out of old trafford on a swap deal with caligari for lynn balson

29 Jun 2011 11:36:03
Confirmed de Gea has signed a 5 year deal. Amazing news can't wait to see him play. Source SSN. CDS

29 Jun 2011 11:23:49
Were nowhere near barca at the moment and then we sign

Jones and young

They sign
sanchez and fabregas
says it all really, oh well lets concentrate on the league.
yippee

Stop crying, im happy with our current signings especially jones and de gea, barca cant go on forever and fergie is building a squad for the future, trust sir alex.he very rarely lets us down

They have signed no one yet

In any case we play in the Epl and Barca play in La Liga we will play them next season maybe in one game perhaps two maybe not at all Fergie is improving the squad and who are you to say with one or two more additions that we couldnt beat them next season if we play them ??
Young Jones and De Gea do improve the squad and will improve the team I am very happy with what Fergie is trying to do.

Red Knight.

I wasn't aware they had signed Fabregas though it does seem to be just a matter of time. Who knows where Sanchez will end up. Maybe he will stay put for another year. Don't forget it's not just us Barca have to beat next year. If we keep on getting to finals we'll win our share. I hope SAF stays on for many more years. Ryan.

29 Jun 2011 11:06:11
SSN: De Gea finally signs 5-year contract for ?Ç£17.8m...SSN. Happy days, and although it has seemingly been coming, i'm glad we've got this very, very good piece of business done and dusted.
Hopefully Nasri will sign (?Ç£ 17m) and i think that will end the transfer business with a small possibility of a starlet.
DBhoy

29 Jun 2011 10:33:29
Shouldn't be a surprise but we've given up on Sanchez and the club he wants to join is Barcelona. However, because of his crazy price tag he probably isn't going anywhere.

Well if Mancini won't pay the price tag, I can;t imagine anyone else meeting it and he has declared City out of the race today.

29 Jun 2011 10:23:19
Please dont put lies on this site your embarassing yourself, if you have a genuine rumour put it on.
If its rubbish dont bother your wasting your time and ours

29 Jun 2011 09:31:33
nasri and wilshire + snijder definitely coming to OT whether u guys belive it or not....

Give us an idea where you're getting this from and we might believe you....

Have a friend that works on Espn Sports center.... the show and i belive they carry lot of weightage

Dont be so daft for one we havent got that sort of money and two Wilshire is arsenal through and through and bragging on twitter how much he loves Arsenal and the new kit etc etc. If you are going to make something up make it believeable

I agree were not sure if Sir Alex is even going to sign anymore players, Yes we could do with a Snijder but were not going to pay him 200,000 a week

Hahahahahaha...now thats the funniest rumour ive seen this year...neva gonna happen...but worth a try you numpty....

29 Jun 2011 07:58:35
Rodwell + Nasri in before August 31st

Trust

Morning Ed002, there seems to be a lot of Nasri to United rumours via numerous newspapers today. Have you heard anything in regards to all of this? Odds at the bookies shot down that he will end up going to either City or United this week, is there anything in this mate?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - I have heard nothing at all Syd. I would expect Nasri to stay at Arsenal with Fabregas leaving. I can see Arsenal offering a good deal to him, so I would not get your hopes up too much just yet.}

I have said that I fully expect Nasri to sign a 120k a week deal with Arsenal, I think he will get his central role with the captain's armband too. And I still believe this. Just wondered if you heard anything new, that's all. You do tend to wonder slightly when most newspapers start agreeing with each other.

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - He could of course go if he refuses to sign a new deal and a sufficient offer is placed. But I am sure Arsenal would look to offering up a package and some comforting words that would keep him in London for a while longer. I guess we will see. Gervinho is pretty close to his move to London, so there is some movement at the Emirates.}

People, please give it up with the rodwell rumours, he is overpriced to start with and secondly he is nowhere near united quality. It simply will not happen

29 Jun 2011 00:04:51
I have read a few post on here that people have said Rio Ferdinand could move to Tottenham in a part exchange deal involving Modric.

This is not going to happen. My close friend works for the agency who look after Rio and also Ashley Young, he is good mates with both of them. I asked him and he laughed, Rio is going absolutely no where. Most of you could of guessed this anyway but thought I'd reasure you all.

I asked about Modric and he said from what he's heard he doubts that he'l be a United player next season.

It's not wholly laughable, after all, Harry did make a bid last season for Rio. Obviously it isn;t likely to happen, but far crazier things have happened in football.

Nice to see a sensible "rumour" on this page, and none of this "trust" business. Why would I "trust" you, you half witted moron? Sorry, I'm ranting now...
